Set in the Mushroom Kingdom and featuring its cast of well-known characters, this adventure RPG begins with a familiar scenario: Mario must rescue Princess Toadstool from Bowser . However, a mysterious new enemy named Smithy soon appears, and Mario and Bowser are forced to fight as allies for the first time in their long history. In the quest to defeat their powerful new foe, they'll journey across a wide variety of locations (a town of mining moles, a tropical forest, a thundering waterfall—just to name a few) and tackle a mix of obstacles requiring both expert timing and strategy to overcome. Along the way, they'll gain experience and grow more powerful, while also meeting new characters whose unique abilities will be needed to take on Smithy and his gang. Striking a perfect balance of traditional RPG elements and the action-packed game play Mario is famous for, it's easy to see why this title has earned "legendary" status.

Super Mario RPG starts off just like any other Mario game you can think of, Princess Toadstool gets captured by Bowser and Mario has to go out and save her. So, when Mario goes and saves Princess Toadstool after a short duel with Bowser, Smithy, a gigantic sword overtakes the castle and sends the three characters off in different directions. And, thus, this great game begins.
Along the way you will meet various characters and pick up some helpful sidekicks along the way (one of which will suprise you). Besides the regular plot there are a couple of sidegames that you can complete, but are not needed to win the game.
